I think all of them are great rods for the money you spend on the respective series. I love my Champion Extremes (795 Flip and two 745s), but I know they cost more than many want to spend. I bought one of them used and picked up the other 2 for about 25% off of MSRP. I really like the Sierras for the money. I have the 683, 703, 704, and 734 and love all 4 of them.

Have you had any experience with the Sierras? From the reviews I’ve read online it seems that it’s a huge upgrade from the Fury and better quality, too. Looks like it also comes in two versions: one with Fuji Alconite guides and one with Fuji Micro Guides. I would stay away from the micro guides, but I really like the Sierra line. I have 4 of those and I really like them. I also have a bunch of other Dobyns rods, 4 Fury's and a bunch of Champions, mostly the older Champions and one of the XP Champions.. I also have 1 Extacy. If you can go by the warehouse in Sulfur Springs, I would do that because they have a ton of trade in rods that they sell right there. Huge selection. Last edited by ezbassin; 06/17/20 08:51 PM.

Lighter, more sensitive, higher quality. Well worth the extra $50. I still want to try some Champions, but can't justify spending that much on my hobby right now.

Yes, I have one Sierra that is as beat up as any rod I have ever owned and it still has no issues, other than it's ugly, with mangled cork and badly scratched. IMHO, the Sierra series is a major step up from the Fury series, as Lee said.

If you're a veteran Dobyns will give you a pretty good discount. Honora Primum Vel Nullum Omnin Honorem
